Living here for over 20 years it is still one of our favorite hikes to take. Go early and make sure to go to the top. Views that refresh your soul. Beauty surrounds you and if you go while the wild flowers are in bloom,...More

One of the most gorgeous trails in the Aspen area and part of the longer 4 pass loop trail. You start out at Maroon lake and gain 2500ft vertical so be ready to climb. Great flowers and gorgeous landscape. After 1.6 miles you reach Crater...More

The hiker works hard ascending the 3000+ foot altitude gain. One hikes over scree, through aspen and evergreen forests and up a breathtaking (literally) bowl with scattered wildflowers to the snow cornice at the pass. The view of Snowmass Peak and beyond is worth every...More

Buckskin Pass came highly recommended from a friend, and the hike did not disappoint. Definitely get an early start on it to get out ahead of the Maroon Bells crowd (and snag a good parking spot). There was a little snow up top in early...More

I visited the Aspen area to backpack the Maroon Bells Four Pass Loop, a 25 mile multi-day hike. Buckskin Pass is part of this loop, and has an incredible view on all sides. The pass is a 5 mile hike from the trailhead at the...More

Being from the flatlands of SE Pennsylvania this hike was a real heart pumper! DH and I were in the Aspen area for three full days before attempting it and I'm glad we had the time to acclimate. It was 9.2 miles out and back...More

Buckskin Pass is approximately a 3.8 mile hike over well defined trails, much of it above treeline, with 3150 vertical feet. Bring poles, they will seriously help with the rocky trail, as you move through several areas of scree that are remnants of avalanches, etc....More

We actually did the willow pass trail, but passed through buckskin pass too. The ascending trek was moderately difficult, but well worth it!! I don't have injured knees; however, my knees were aching by the time we got to willow pass, so I would recommend...More

Yes. The real Buckskin Pass is really into the mountains from Aspen Highlands. That section of Colorado Springs has many streets named for passes, including Gunshot Pass Dr, Mosquito Pass, Trout Creek Pass, Monarch Pass... More

Yes. The real Buckskin Pass is really into the mountains from Aspen Highlands. That section of Colorado Springs has many streets named for passes, including Gunshot Pass Dr, Mosquito Pass, Trout Creek Pass, Monarch Pass, Mosca Pass, Tennessee Pass, Venable Pass, Poncha Pass and Stony Pass. These streets essentially surround a more major street: Whimsical Drive.
